[Bulletin Board] MSM is going to do an idol debut program.

Writer Firefly Shipper

It’s not yet officially out, but my dad works at the broadcasting station and heard it ᄋᄋ he told me that it’s been confirmed, but feel free to believe or not, I expect comments calling me a lying f*ck*ng b*tch haha. The filming was confirmed, the participants were all decided, all the selected kids were good-looking and he wished for it to go well. You can just think of it like the other survival programs that you’ve watched. If they get a lot of votes from the audience and still remain until the end, they will be sponsored by an agency and sign a formal contract.

+) Don’t ask me for authentication because it’s troublesome.

ᄂ a lying f*ck*ng b*tch~~~

ᄂ I’ve already expected this (trembling)

ᄂ If uncle really is in that field, there should be something– I don’t believe it, prove it.

ᄂᄏᄏᄏ They said it’s troublesome, believe if you want and don’t if you don’t want to

ᄂ I can’t show proof that I don’t have ᅲ

ᄂ Why would MSM put out an idol debut program ᄏᄏᄏᄀᄏᄏᄀᄏᄀᄏᄏ why would they do something useless like putting another variety show ᄏᄏᄀᄏᄏᄀ

ᄂ??? If they are going to be sponsored by an agency, does that mean they don’t have an agency??? Are they going to gather participants from the general public??????

ᄂThere’s a lot of question mark ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ why are you so curious about this jokes

ᄂ It’s not written in there but it seems like they’ll be taking ordinary people ᄋᄋ

ᄂ Wow, It’s my first time seeing them go with ordinary people

ᄂ ?????? They’re not trainees???

Ah, he’s a proxy. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but the distance was so close that I could hear them talk. I wanted to come back to my senses, so I turned my feet in the opposite direction.

It was already 9:10 when I finally arrived at the FC center. I was anxious that everyone might already be there, after finishing the identification at the entrance, I entered the building which looked a lot more dignified than I thought. I immediately stood in front of the elevator to go up to the 5th floor, where the waiting room that my uncle told me was.

“Aren’t you the person I took the profile picture with?”

As I was thinking of harvesting the apple first while waiting for the elevator to go down, someone touched my arm gently and talked to me. When I turned my head to the right, to see where the sound came from, A main character of an animation with a gorgeous blond hair came into sight.

“Ah yes. That…….”

“Ah, My name is Kim Seongwon, do you maybe know me? I was in the ‘Hot Stage’ before. I made it to the semi-finals.”

After looking at each other for about 30 seconds, it finally occurred to me. Seonwon’s face emerged from my memories, and I nodded a couple of times.

The show that I couldn’t remember was ‘Hot Stage’. There were a lot of people who were good at dancing, so I watched a few episodes of that program, but I completely forgot about it.

“Yes.”

“I wanted to talk to you in the studio last time, but you left as soon as it ended. Have you ever been a trainee in any company? You’re so handsome.”

“No.”

“Ah, so this is your first program. You must be very nervous.”

Seongwon’s eyes widened and he nodded his head as if sympathizing, then he began to give advice like a pro.

“The atmosphere at the first shoot is really stiff. When it’s break time, the mood starts to warm up, but it’s worth living for.”

Frankly, it was just noisy when one talks non stop even after the elevator had arrived. Still, I opened my ears because I thought they were helpful stories. When I showed a listening attitude, Seonwon, who raised his voice without realizing it, suddenly whispered.

“But you have to look good in front of the PDs. Editing is really important. When I was in Hot Stage, there was a noona there who said that she didn’t like the editing. The PD cut her performance in half, then she got eliminated the next week.”

Seongwon, who was whispering about the importance of editing, hurriedly shut up when the elevator opened on the third floor and people came in. It was completely like my story. Be edited out, then get eliminated.

As soon as we reached the 5th floor, I quickly exited the elevator. Seongwon, who was behind the people from the 3rd and 4th floor, also broke through the crowd and came out slightly distracted.

“The waiting room…… ah, it must be here.”

Seongwon, who was walking through the wide corridor, opened the door as he had found the waiting room. As soon as he entered, he greeted everyone cheerfully and looked for the people he had met during the last profile shoot.

After seeing it, I awkwardly stepped in the waiting room. It’s not a very spacious waiting room.

More than twenty men were sitting together, so it looked full. It seems like fifteen people haven’t arrived yet, but the waiting room already looks like it is about to burst . I walked into the narrow waiting room, but I couldn’t say hello in a cheerful voice like Seongwon, so I quietly went to the corner and sat down.

Giveaway: Usually outside a kpop idol’s concert, fans would give or share a bunch of merch be it slogan, a fan, or even food.

Fansite: The word used for the fansite in the raw is HoMa which is shortcut for Homepage Master. It’s a site built by a fan dedicated to a member of the group or the whole group. They’re usually popular because they have the resources to take high quality photos of the members. I will continue to use fasite as it’s a lot more familiar for international fans.
